Better Sound??

Ummm Makenzie's highmount anyone?

He's not selling them yet, is he?  Last I saw, they were still in prototype stage.

Srinath flange + wileyco sounds awesome.

One of my personal PA favorites is the law against "modified fenders".  Ok, so that makes about 90% of sportbikes instantly illegal.

On the noise level issue.  Isn't there some federal reg?  I'm pretty sure when I bought my SV two years ago reading on a sticker something to the affect of "this exhust system complies with the federal noise limit of 90db at xxxrpm" or something like that.

 

Yes its a federal regulation on manufacturing exhausts for use in the USA after 1982 I believe.

Yeah, there are laws out there that don't really make sense, and are not enforced until they become extremely noticeable, most of the time, kind of like speeding, no one usually gets pulled over doing 5mph over the speed limit, but start pushing 15-20mph over and then your very likely to get stopped for speeding.
And  I'm not pointing a finger at anyone, but I always try to help somebody from doing something illegal (Guess why), if you were to take out all of your baffling from your exhaust I'm willing to bet you don't get more than five hundred miles on your bike before getting stopped in a state that has dba laws in act, but using an aftermarket exhaust seems like a more sensible solution.
